When I first watched the series I was a Mal/Inara fan, but after I watched the film I switched to Mal/River. Looking back the Mal/Inara thing always seemed a bit forced, but Mal/River seems more natural. Probably down to the chemistry between Nathan Fillion and Summer Glau.

"Give me my sin again..." I LOVED IT. Absolutely and completely loved it, though uncertain how I feel about Mal and River (curious though I am to see what it could mean and do) I LOVE how you write and how you wrote and everything satisfying about this. Thank you, good luck and keep writing, PLEASE!

Oh, this is beautiful, the characterisations are just perfect, and your style of writing is lovely, with wonderful descriptions and imagery. I liked the sad, melancholic tone here, as well. Great work!

As a Mal/River shipper, I usually spend most of my time writing about the ways in which they can make things work. Occasionally, though, if only to keep some perspective, it's probably good for me to read something that talks about the reasons that they can't. And there are more than a few.
